Feeling meh? Need a musical kick in the rear to get a move on? I’ve got just the thing! Actually, make that seven things, because I couldn’t feature only one (plus, seven is a superb number). The electropop songs you’ll find here often swim around in my brain and force my feet to tap long after […]

Vinyl Veins Music Reviews: Film Score Shout Out
One of the most amazing things I love about music is its versatility. I love how certain film compositions can absolutely make a movie.

Artist: Abigail Washburn Album: City of Refuge Today, I want to talk about a remarkable woman. I’m always amazed to find out the history of artists that fascinate me, and this native of Evanston, Illinois has a particularly interesting story. She wasn’t always a banjo/folk enthusiast.

Music Review: “Sounds Like You” by Kirby Krackle
Kirby Krackle’s new album (Sounds Like You) explores the kooky tendencies of the nerd heart. A couple years ago, while attending the very first C2E2, I was wandering the floor and perusing merchandise. Not surprisingly, one of the booths that will always stick with me is Kirby Krackle’s. All I remember is two guys telling […]

Vinyl Veins Music Reviews: Mini Mixtape #1
I’ve got something fun to mix things up a little: I wanted a chance to use my favorite hobby! Mixtapes are something I have been doing since I was seven years old and got my first Sony double tape deck/radio. As a result of this obsession, if you have known me longer than two minutes, […]
